OK but give me realistic data for Balao-class sub so I will be able to adjust it myself using your trick and SH4Editor.

As for now I have more precise results for Balao range in both RFB 2.0 and GFO when sub travels 4 kt at periscope depth:

- 46 NM/53 Mi - when 4 kt drops to 3 kt
- 50 NM/57 Mi - when 3 kt drops to 2 kt
- 56 NM/62 Mi - when 2 kt drops to 1 kt
- 63 NM/72 Mi - when 1 kt drops to 0 kt

I am not sure what value for range measurement is correct: 53 Mi (slowing down below desired speed) or 72 Mi (complete stop) but anyway this is still worse result than 83 Mi @ 4 kt range mentioned at the first page of this thread. Yet it is better than in the stock game.

PS. Well, Soviet S-class sub was a real "elektro-podlodka": 148 Mi at 3 kt!

Besides - how this propulsion guy can change batteries consumption rate? Is this real or funny game feature only?
